Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision which upheld the trial Court's ruling that the sale deed was executed without consideration. The Court noted that the High Court's finding was based on a lack of evidence from the appellants to prove payment of consideration, as required under the Sale of Goods Act. The Court held that the High Court was justified in reviewing the evidence due to conflicting findings between the trial and appellate Courts, and thus, no further interference was warranted.
